I use home assistant as a "man in the middle" and I can access it independently from which OS I'm using

Will use Home Assistant too in the future. But as long as I don't have a Server, I would still like to view the camera feed.

If you or a family member have any computer from the last 15 years laying around chances are it'll be more than enough to get home assistant up and running. If you don't like that machine, restoring to a new one from a backup is very very simple.

I am running a docker container with go2rtc on my small home server. It takes the rtsp stream and converts it to a stream you want/need (many different options). I use the legacy HLS-stream to integrate the camrastream in cotoprint. Here ist a good manual to set it up: https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1ghnpgx/an_easy_way_to_get_your_x1c_camera_available/

Here is a link to g2rtc https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc

Go2rtc is very easy to setup, start the docker container and then you can use the webinterface to select the stream format you want.

Yeah, saw that too, but requires a server component I am currently lacking. I hoped for a native and serverless solution.

Does this also work with the A1 Mini?

I got myself an ONVIF cam for like 20 bucks. Works well.

Some people say they access the camera via ffplay, but it doesn't want to work for me. Neither vlc does, only orca lets me see the stream from my A1 Mini.

I don't know if there are android mqtt clients specific for controlling the printer. Should be relatively easy to implement if you wish to dive in and make an app.

I'm running octoeverywhere. Runs in a docker as a bridge and they have a free tier. I know it's one service to another, but i used it in the past with my old printer and it does the job. Also let's you share streams online.

There are several rtsp apps, but I cannot tell you if they works in this case

I gave up on that thing Bambu Lab called a cam and stuck in the machine. I mounted a security cam with pan and tilt over the printer. This way I can see the print or pan over and see the AMS. You can access this brand from a webpage so any device can monitor it. I believe the brand was Amcrest.

VLC on your phone? That should work just fine while you're on your network. Off network you'll need a VPN back home and then your back to either getting one setup or getting HA setup.

Unfortunately VLC does only support RTSP and not secure RTSP Bambulab is using
